    I am retiring from my career in the next year or two and have been making sawdust for decades. I have been considering making a small business out of my woodworking and this product fit in nicely with the "smalls" I would like in my inventory.
    most of what I make now is too large and heavy for people to carry away from a street fair or flea market.
    Thank you for the demonstration and the idea.

    I really appreciate that you took the time to set up a jig and a process for this. I see so many people making multiples of something, and doing the layout on each one seperately- this drives me nuts! When I do batches (often), I do the layout *once*, and built a jig, fixture, or template that incorporates the layout. After that, all I have to do is cut my wood to the correct dimensions. I also enjoyed seeing you do what I call a "time study", so that you can see how long jobs are taking. I do the same thing on things I make often- it's very helpful to see where I need to shave time.

    A faster jig that doesn’t require moving the fence after every cut for cutting your thin strips would help shave off good time if cutting more then a handful of strips at a time. Basically similar thickness board to the one you would cut your strips from, glue (or screw 😅) a top cover over hanging the boards left side and a back strip over hanging the same side to push the strip through as you cut it. Then you can just set you fence the width on the board used for the jig + the width you want the strip to be. But the strip board against the jig board under the lip created by the cover. Push jig and block through to cut a strip. Then bring the jig and board back and repeat. I did this for making shims and it’s so quick and way less tedious. Great video and boards by the way 👍🏻

    I watch a TON of woodworking videos and want to start doing it myself. But my conclusion is, without the proper tools its not worth it or doable. Yes there are hacks/jigs and workarounds etc. But they do not give the proper/desired result to make a descent, consistent and profitable product/sale.
    Nevertheless, great video and explanation how to approach and execute such tasks. So thank you for your effort!

  • @JohnColgan.

    Very nice, I might over engineer them by cutting rebates or biscuit joints to reinforce the handle. Possibly easier to template cut on a router table & then roundover on Router table again .
    Another option to recess 1 face 1/2" as a nibbles tray, other side as a cutting board.

    @jimshields6149 11 месяцев назад +1

    Fascinating, thoughtful and well explained process…. (Which I will plagiarise). The one confusing thing is your rip jig….. wouldn’t it be easier to just set the fence on the bandsaw a kerf width away from the blade then slide your block repeatedly through that to create suitable strips - same method as you would use to create veneers? (Or use your sliding table saw - reset the fence behind the blade then place your block on the sliding table & then push it through repeatedly) Both these methods need the fence setting just once and no actual jig required.

    • @GTWoodshop
      @GTWoodshop  11 месяцев назад

      Yes, having to reset the fence everytime is a bind.

    Hi Graham, I just stumbled upon your channel by sheer accident but am really glad that I did because I too make cutting boards as my main thing although I also am into making various types of tables and also designer style chairs (I tried to say that so it didn't come across that I make tables and chairs as a set because I don't but I do make bespoke individual stuff which is very different).
    I'm very happy that I did find your channel because I too am a Brit but living abroad in Poland. I have now watched a few of your videos tonight and I have just subscribed to your channel and given you a thumbs up. We have a barn attached to our house and I am just about to have part of it converted into a nice and large workshop and by coinsidence you have some of the equipement that I am wanting to buy. I see from one of your videos that you are using Felder machinery which in my mind make very good equipment at very good prices and I am hopping to buy decent bandsaw a full sized one with a cutting capacity of 14" which will allow me to make some much fancier cuts, I see that you also have the Hammer HS950 belt sander. It's a no brainer for me to use Felder because they are an Austrian company and their head office in only a couple of hours drive away from me and here in Poland there are 5 different locations which stock and sell Felder equipement and if I got stuck then just over the borders on Poland into either Germany or the Czech Republic there are litterly dozens of other Felder stockists.
    You mentioned that you don't have enough clamps ?? 9:46 You can never have enough clamps in a workshop in my opinion lol, I have around 50 clamps in various forms and as of today I just ordered another 16 spring loaded clamps albiet the long spring loaded type but they were a good price online and they will never go to waste
    I've got a lot of videos to get through so I'll type a little less and watch a few more of your videos
    Keep up the good work
